The trail heads up to Mount Ojibwe then down into forest to a remote cove.
IRNP, Day 7 McCargoe Cove to Moskey Basin, 9.8 miles
Passing Chickenbone and Ritchie Lakes to Moskey, I’m attacked by leeches, then see otters at sunset.

It’s a short walk to the cove through lightening, thunder and a downpour.

The walk to a view is fogged in, but Blissful is rewarded with thousands of dew-covered spider webs.

The trail heads up to a ridge before descending through thick brush where I meet a moose and a fox.
